She should have said, "use your bingo markers." They'd understand that.
Missed it, they had a sound problem.
And Arianna only drives in them if they are already going to where she is heading.
Back on.
Yeah, that is what should have been said.
"Blanko Dubois, as I like to call her."
As in - she always relies on the "kindness of strangers?"
Yeah, Blanco, a little revisionist history going on already!
Put the bunny back in the box...
The rain bands are more and more dark with moisture here in Central Fl. and thunder and rain here.
Except for downtown New Orleans, there are no effective levees. They're gone.
Geez, these people still have no clue.
Nothing to do with semantics. Two different directions.
I said it before, but I despise Mike Easley, but I never once doubted a word he said last week during Opehlia.
He got the job done without so much as a whimper....or George W. Bush.
I would presume gas trucks would head down the southbound lanes and put gas in jerry cans and carry it to stalled vehicles. But I also imagine any such truck stopping will be overwhelmed by other drivers who are short of gas and just haven't run out yet. Definitely a tense, volatile situation.
After this is all over, I would expect that they will put permanent gates at freeway entrances that can be easily closed to prevent access once contraflow is introduced. I haven't traveled I-45 north of Houston in about 10 years, but back then you could move off the highway to the frontage road just by going across a grassy strip and concrete curb. Don't know whether they have it fenced now or not.
Last I heard it only had a forward speed of 9 mph. Can't get much slower.
They aren't idiots, a Galveston hit is still a very real possibility, the track can easily shift back and forth. Depending on several factors, this could again move more westward after turning more northward. It is still Russian roulette.
That is just a rediculous idea by Blanco. I can't believe she said that. If people write their ssn's on their arms you'll see the biggest epidemic of identity theft in history down in LA.
LMAO
Corpus Christi had mandatory evacuation. Now, people are turning around and going back.....same for Houston. They all hear, "Rita has turned east and is going to hit LA" so.......why should they leave? I think I might feel the same way....sit in a traffic jam for hours or go home.
2000+ Katrina evacuees in Calcasieu Parish have been evac to two other parishes.
